What comes in the way often feels like an interruption. A distraction. A flaw in the frame.

After much effort, I found the perfect angle to capture the building. Just as I was about to click, a thorny shrub found its way into the shot.

I let it be. And surprisingly, it added character.

Maybe that’s how life works too. The things that seem to block us can actually enhance our journey. What doesn’t break us adds depth, resilience, and perspective.

So, what do you think—obstacle or enhancement?

Quick, what do you see?

Some buildings become more than mere buildings. They are conceived in a way for a reason. Designed so. Built and marketed so.

Then they change. They shift in the mind. Based on memories and and emotions over time.

This is the Discovery Of India building at Nehru Centre at Worli, Mumbai. Built in memory of Jawaharlal Nehru and houses a variety of spaces, curating good stuff.

I was taken by the interweaving of concrete that I saw for the first time. Or rather, became present to when viewing it from a different angle with different company.

What do I see?

I see the connectedness of the world. We are all in it together. We might have different windows for viewing the world from, but that’s not the world! It’s just one view of the world.

Over to you. What do you see?
